Improbable Players Recap:
Improbable Players performed on April 3rd and we had over 50 audience members. The show reviewed stereotypes in such a way for audience members to think "ah, you are right, these are ridiculous." Additionally there were personal experiences of the stories performers portrayed as well as the own experiences of the performers. These stories enabled audience members to connect with the actors and their experiences to build a wider world of understanding and see that even simple lexicon changes from "substance abusers " to "people who use substances" can help create a more inclusive and understanding society. Many members of the audience shared with me over the course of the past 24 hours how much the enjoyed the show and appreciated the experiences it provided as well as the platform to begin conversations around how to support each other.
Improbable Players is hosting a Volunteer event on 4/11 from 1-4pm more information
here.

I highly recommend attending one of their performances, it is truly incredible and we are very thankful they were able to come to BU!
